I was warned as a child of thirteenNot to act too strongTry to look like you belong but don't push girlSave your time and troubleDon't misbehaveI was raised in a "no you don't world"Overrun with rulesMemorize your lines and move as directedThat's an age old storyEverybody knows that's a worn out songBut you and I are changing that tuneWe're learning new rhythms from the womanI said the woman in the moonLittle sister, little brotherKeep on pushin'Don't believe a word aboutThings you heard aboutAskin' too much too soon

'Cause they can hold back the tideBut they can never hold the woman in the moonI believe there's a best of both worldsMixing old and newRecognizing change is seldom expectedAs I long suspectedThey believed that strange was a word for wrongWell not in my song'Cause you, you and I are changing that tuneWe're learning new rhythms from that woman in the moonLittle sister, little brotherKeep on pushin'Don't believe a word aboutThings you heard aboutAskin' too much too soon'Cause they can hold back the tideBut they can never hold the womanI said the woman in the moon
